THE FOUNDER-YEAR REALITY
You're not buying a guaranteed audience.
You're helping us build one.
WCSL is a new, student-owned station. During the remainder of 2026, we are building our listenership, programming rhythm, and community together with our earliest advertisers and sponsors.
WCSL cannot guarantee a specific number of listeners—or that a commercial will produce customers, sales, clicks, or inquiries. What we do commit to is delivering the production and placements included in the package you select.
Founder Prices are intentionally lower because early partners are joining us while the station is still growing. These prices are available for a limited time and are not lifetime rates.

Founder Rate agreement & guidelines +
Payment: Advertising packages are prepaid. Production and scheduling begin after payment and receipt of the materials WCSL needs to create or place the campaign.
Approval: The advertiser approves the script before production. Each package includes one revision; additional revisions begin at the à-la-carte rate shown above.
Placement: All commercials, sponsorships, and air dates remain subject to WCSL content review, brand compatibility, and schedule availability. Specific placement is not guaranteed unless confirmed in writing.
Results: As a new, student-owned station, WCSL does not guarantee audience size or a particular number of sales, customers, clicks, inquiries, or listeners. WCSL commits only to the agreed production and placements.
Founder status: Founder Rates are intentionally lower while advertisers and sponsors help WCSL build through the remainder of 2026. They are introductory—not lifetime pricing. Continuous advertising is required to retain them through December 31, 2026; paused or discontinued campaigns may return at the then-current rate.
